Status of the tunnel system

10 Incorporation of part of the tunnel system into the United Kingdom and general application of law.
(1) The land comprising the tunnel system as far as the frontier, so far as not forming part of the United Kingdom before the passing of this Act, shall, as it becomes occupied by or on behalf of the Concessionaires working from England, together with so much of the surrounding subsoil as is necessary for the security of the part of the system so occupied, be incorporated into England and form part of the district of Dover in the county of Kent, and the law of England shall apply accordingly.
(2) Subsections (3) and (4) below apply if any part of the tunnel system constructed by or on behalf of the Concessionaires working from England (“the English section”) extends beyond the frontier before it effectively joins the part of the tunnel system constructed by or on behalf of the Concessionaires working from France (“the French section”) and subsections (5) to (7) below apply if the converse case occurs.
Any land comprising any such part of the English or (as the case may be) of the French section is referred to in those subsections as a cross-frontier extension of that section.
(3) Until the English section effectively joins the French section, any cross-frontier extension of the English section shall be treated as being in England and, except for rating purposes, as forming part of the county of Kent and the law of England shall apply there.
(4) When the English section effectively joins the French section, the law of England shall continue to apply in relation to things done or omitted while the cross-frontier extension was treated by virtue of subsection (3) above as being in England and any proceedings may be brought or continued, any punishment may be imposed and carried out and any remedy may be granted and enforced in respect of such things accordingly.
(5) Subject to subsection (6) below, until the English section effectively joins the French section, no part of the law of England that would otherwise apply in relation to things done or omitted in, over or under the bed of the sea above any cross-frontier extension of the French section shall apply in relation to anything done or omitted in that extension or in so much of the surrounding subsoil as is necessary for the security of that extension.
(6) Subsection (5) above shall not exclude the application of any enactment or rule of law that applies irrespective of the country or territory in which any acts or omissions with which it is concerned take place.
(7) On the date on which the English section effectively joins the French section, section 7 of this Act and subsection (1) above shall apply to the cross-frontier extension of the French section as if it had become occupied on that date by or on behalf of the Concessionaires working from England.
(8) For the purposes of this section, the date on which the English section effectively joins the French section shall be taken to be such date as the Secretary of State may by order certify as being that date.
S. 10(8): the date certified as the date upon which the English section effectively joins the French section is 30.11.1992 by S.I. 1991/1212, art.2.

Extinguishment of private rights of way
5 (1) All private rights of way over any land which may be acquired compulsorily under this Act shall be extinguished on the acquisition of the land, whether compulsorily or by agreement, or on the entry on the land in pursuance of section 11(1) of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965, as applied by section 37 of this Act, whichever is sooner.
1965 c.56.

(b) any enhancement of the value of any interest in land by reason of any building erected, works executed or improvement or alteration made, whether on the land acquired or on any other land with which the claimant is (or was at the time of the erection, execution or making of the building, works, improvement or alteration) directly or indirectly concerned;
if the tribunal are satisfied that the creation of the interest, or (as the case may be) the erection of the building, the execution of the works or the making of the improvement or alteration was not reasonably necessary and was undertaken with a view to obtaining compensation or increased compensation.

(2) If on any such application it appears to the justices that the misstatement or wrong description arose from mistake or inadvertence, the justices shall certify accordingly and shall in their certificate state in what respect any matter is misstated or wrongly described.
(3) The certificate shall be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments and a copy thereof in the Private Bill Office of the House of Commons and with the proper officer of each County Council or London Borough Council in whose area is situated the land to which the certificate relates, and thereupon the deposited plans or the book of reference thereto (as the case may be) shall be deemed to be corrected according to the certificate, and it shall be lawful for the appropriate authority, in accordance with the certificate, to proceed under this Act as if the deposited plans or the book of reference had always been in the corrected form.

Adaptation of Part I of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965
8 In relation to the compulsory creation and acquisition of an easement or right in land (in any enactment amended by this paragraph referred to as “a right over land”) by virtue of paragraph 2 above, Part I of the Compulsory Purchase Act 1965 applies with the following modifications—
(a) For section 7 (which relates to compensation) there shall be substituted the following—

“7 (1) In assessing the compensation to be paid by the acquiring authority under this Act regard shall be had not only to the extent (if any) to which the value of the land over which the right is purchased is depreciated by the purchase but also to the damage, if any, to be sustained by the owner of the land by reason of injurious affection of other land of the owner by the exercise of the right.
(2) The modifications subject to which subsection (1) of section 44 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 is to have effect, as applied by subsection (2) of that section to compensation for injurious affection under this section, are that for the words “land is acquired or taken” there shall be substituted “a right over land is purchased” and for the words “acquired or taken from him” there shall be substituted “over which the right is exercisable”.
1973 c.26.”

;
(b) For section 8(1) (which relates to cases in which a vendor cannot be required to sell part only of a building or garden) there shall be substituted the following—

“8 (1) Where in consequence of the service on a person under section 5 of this Act of a notice to treat in respect of a right over land consisting of a house, building or factory or of a park or garden belonging to a house (hereafter in this subsection referred to as “the relevant land”)—
(a) a question of disputed compensation in respect of the purchase of the right would apart from this section fall to be determined by the Upper Tribunal (hereafter in this section referred to as “the Tribunal”); and
Words in Sch. 5 para. 8(b) substituted (1.6.2009) by The Transfer of Tribunal Functions (Lands Tribunal and Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1307), art. 1, Sch. 1 para. 187(b) (with Sch. 5)
(b) before the Tribunal has determined that question the person satisfies the Tribunal that he has an interest which he is able and willing to sell in the whole of the relevant land; and—
(i) where that land consists of a house, building or factory, that it cannot be made subject to the right without material detriment to it; or
(ii) where that land consists of such a park or garden, that it cannot be made subject to the right without seriously affecting the amenity or convenience of the house to which it belongs;
the compulsory purchase order shall, in relation to that person, cease to authorise the purchase of the right and be deemed to authorise the purchase of that person’s interest in the whole of the relevant land including, where the land consists of such a park or garden, the house to which it belongs, and the notice shall be deemed to have been served in respect of that interest on such date as the Tribunal directs.
(1A) Any question as to the extent of the land in which the compulsory purchase order is deemed to authorise the purchase of an interest by virtue of subsection (1) above shall be determined by the Tribunal.
(1B) Where in consequence of a determination of the Tribunal that it is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) above the compulsory purchase order is deemed by virtue of that subsection to authorise the purchase of an interest in land, the acquiring authority may, at any time within the period of six weeks beginning with the date of the determination, withdraw the notice to treat in consequence of which the determination was made; but nothing in this subsection prejudices any other power of the acquiring authority to withdraw the notice.
(1C) The modifications subject to which subsection (1) of section 58 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 is to have effect, as applied by subsection (2) of that section to the duty of the Tribunal in determining whether it is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) above, are that at the beginning of paragraphs (a) and (b) there shall be inserted the words “a right over”, for the word “severance” there shall be substituted “right on the whole of the house, building or factory or of the house and the park or garden” and for the words “part proposed” and “part is” there shall be substituted respectively “rights proposed” and “right is”.
1973 c. 26.”

;
(c) The following provisions stating the effect of a deed poll executed in various circumstances where there is no conveyance by persons with interests in the land, namely—
section 9(4) (failure of owners to convey);
paragraph 10(3) of Schedule 1 (owners under incapacity);
paragraph 2(3) of Schedule 2 (absent and untraced owners); and
paragraphs 2(3) and 7(2) of Schedule 4 (common land);
shall be so modified as to secure that, as against persons with interests in the land which are expressed to be overridden by the deed, the right which is to be purchased compulsorily is vested absolutely in the acquiring authority;
(d) Section 11 (powers of entry) shall be so modified as to secure that, as from the date on which the acquiring authority have served notice to treat in respect of any right, they have power, exercisable in the like circumstances and subject to the like conditions, to enter for the purpose of exercising that right (which shall be deemed for this purpose to have been created on the date of service of the notice); and sections 12 (penalty for unauthorised entry) and 13 (entry on enforcement officer's or sheriff's warrant in the event of obstruction) shall be modified correspondingly;
Words in Sch. 5 para. 8(d) substituted (1.4.2008) by Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15), s. 148, Sch. 22 para. 5; S.I. 2007/2709, art. 5(b)
(e) Section 20 (compensation for short term tenants) shall apply with the modifications necessary to secure that persons with such interests as are mentioned in that section are compensated in a manner corresponding to that in which they would be compensated on a compulsory acquisition of the interests but taking into account only the extent (if any) of such interference with such interests as is actually caused, or likely to be caused, by the exercise of the right in question;
(f) Section 22 (protection of acquiring authority’s possession of land where by inadvertence an interest in the land has not been purchased) shall be so modified as to enable the acquiring authority, in circumstances corresponding to those referred to in that section, to continue to be entitled to exercise the right in question, subject to compliance with that section as respects compensation; and
(g) Paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 1 (power of owners to sell to the acquiring authority) shall be modified to empower all persons who are seised or possessed of or entitled to any of the land over which a right is required by the acquiring authority to grant that right to the authority and to enter all necessary agreements for the purpose.
